Kyle McCord can spin it and the St. Joseph’s Prep quarterback has already committed to Ohio State.

Just about every major program in the country is coming after Warwick offensive tackle Nolan Rucci, and there are plenty of other guys in Pennsylvania’s Class of 2021 who look like they can play college football.

Who are the best of the bunch? The following is PennLive’s ranking of the top 190 college prospects in the class.

This isn’t a best high school football player list because college offers aren’t always handed out based on stats. Yes, production was factored in, but we went to games through the fall, looked at film and took into account the measurables — height, weight, speed and strength.

Each player’s film is linked in their bio. The top 60 players’ films are embedded into the story.

188.Lek Powell

School: Bishop McDevitt

Position: QB

HT/WT: 6-0, 175

Buzz: Throws a nice ball and made steady improvements as his junior campaign progressed. Powell passed for more than 2,000 yards as a junior and will have a chance to put up bigger numbers his final season.

Buzz: They stood him up a lot and brought him off the edge. He’s probably not as explosive as some of the other edge guys in these rankings, but he has a good, strong base and isn’t a bad athlete. He offers some versatility in that he could stay on the edge or, perhaps, bulk up and move inside.

Buzz: Parton makes a filthy, one-handed catch going full-speed on the first clip of his HUDL film. He’s got good hands and good enough speed to make him a nice weapon out of the slot for someone at the next level.

Bishop Guilfoyle's Keegan Myrick is tackled by the Farrell defense in their PIAA A championship football game at Hersheypark Stadium. Dec. 03, 2019. Sean Simmers | ssimmers@pennlive.com

163.Keegan Myrick

School: Bishop Guilfoyle

Position: S

HT/WT: 6-0, 161

Buzz: He’s one of the most productive players in the state, running for nearly 1,300 yards from his tailback spot and picking off six passes on defense. We think Myrick’s best spot at the next level will be safety.

Isaiah Houser, Shippensburg, intercepts a pass intended for Northern's Aidan Wenger to kill Northern's last drive and outlasts Northern York 27-21 in high school football action at Robert F. Bostic Field in Dillsburg, Pa., Oct. 11, 2019.
Mark Pynes | mpynes@pennlive.com

161.Isaiah Houser

School: Shippensburg

Position: ATH

HT/WT: 5-10, 140

Buzz: Houser is a fluid athlete who can fill in at a lot of positions. He can run and can play receiver, but his best spot may be corner where his athleticism shines brightest. He can also help in the return game.

Buzz: Quick and strong he is an excellent blocker on the run. He absolutely hammers guys out in front to open up those running lanes. Those same attributes make him an interesting defensive tackle prospect.

Buzz: A nice athlete who also plays safety, McCusker passed for more than 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. He can run it, and his arm is good enough, but if he becomes a little more polished as a passer it could help his stock.

Cheltenham's Sam Sykes runs against Archbishop Wood in their 5A football state title game at Hersheypark Stadium. Dec. 04, 2019. Sean Simmers | ssimmers@pennlive.com

133.Sam Sykes

School: Cheltenham

Position: ATH

HT/WT: 5-8, 180

Buzz: Sykes runs well and shows good vision at running back. He can catch it. He can play safety and is physical there, and he can cover receivers, too. He’s not the biggest guy, but he’s a good football player.

Buzz: He was lost in the shuffle a bit with the Vikings boasting, perhaps, the state’s top defensive line, but Henderson is a good looking athlete with a nice frame who could make some noise as a senior.

Buzz: Pine-Richland coaches put him on the radar before the season and he responded by having a nice junior campaign. Schweiger can do a little bit of everything — he can make plays in the passing game, but is also good at coming up and being physical against the run.

Ameer Dudley, Central Valley, is pressured by Caleb Graham, Wyoming Area, and Wyoming Area came from behind in the last of the fourth quarter to defeat Central Valley 21-14 for the 2019 PIAA 3A football championship at Hersheypark Stadium, Dec. 7, 2019.
Mark Pynes | mpynes@pennlive.com

124.Ameer Dudley

School: Central Valley

Position: WR

HT/WT: 6-1, 180

Buzz: Dudley has produced at quarterback for Central Valley and helped lead his team to a state title appearance, but his athleticism may best translate to receiver at the next level.

Buzz: He’s a Pitt baseball commit, but the way this kid plays defense the Panthers might want to give him a look on the football field, too. He’s a physical, old-school type who excels at linebacker where he gets downhill with bad intentions.

Buzz: Matolcsy made our rankings as a receiver following his sophomore season. He added some size and played some tight end on offense this year, but he’s probably a more intriguing linebacker prospect now with his skillset and ability to run.

Buzz:: Smith is just a good football player who produced at a big-time clip on both sides of the ball for the Rams as a junior. He finished 2019 with 85 tackles — nine for loss — with four sacks, three interceptions, four passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. Those would be impressive numbers if all he did was play linebacker, but he also ran for 1,351 yards and 17 touchdowns, caught 26 passes for 279 yards and three more scores and was a weapon in the return game. He averaged 26.6 yards per kick return with a long of 78.

Wilson quarterback Kaleb Brown is tackled by Nate Bruce, Harrisburg, and Harrisburg defeats Wilson 33-29 in the opening round of the District 3 high school football playoffs at Reading, Pa., Nov. 8, 2019.
Mark Pynes | mpynes@pennlive.com

96.Kaleb Brown

School: Wilson

Position: CB

HT/WT: 6-0, 170

Buzz: Brown slid into the quarterback position as a junior and played well enough to lead the Bulldogs to a 10-win season, but his next-level spot is at corner or safety where his athleticism and build allow him to excel.

Penn State recruit Layne Brannon visits with head coach James Franklin before the Buffalo game on Sept. 7, 2019.
Joe Hermitt | jhermitt@pennlive.com

94.Layne Brannon

School: Harrisburg

Position: T

HT/WT: 6-5, 275

Buzz: Brannon is a good athlete who also plays basketball. He lost his junior season due to a knee injury. Prior to that, he was shaping up to be one of the more interesting line prospects in the Mid-Penn. If he works hard to come back from the knee, he could have a big senior season and show back up on the recruiters’ radars.

Buzz: He’s a big, thick, strong guy who played both tackle positions and guard for Norwin. He could, potentially, be a tackle at the next level, but at 6-4 with his build, we like him at guard for the moment.

Buzz: Here’s a guy who has, obviously, made gains in strength and size during the past year. Pajuste kicked out to tackle this season and fared well, but his next-level home is likely guard. He’s a smart guy who seems to be focused on improving, and it has been showing. He can help someone.

Warwick's Caleb Schmitz breaks up a pass intended for Manheim Township's Brett Benjamin during their week 7 high school football game at Warwick. Oct. 02, 2019.Sean Simmers | ssimmers@pennlive.com

82.Caleb Schmitz

School: Warwick

Position: S

HT/WT: 6-3, 181

Buzz: A good football player who shined at receiver in 2019. Schmitz has a nice frame and offers all kinds of versatility. He could, very well, play receiver at the next level. We like his length and physicality at receiver, but he also has the potential to grow into a linebacker.

Warwick's Joey McCracken runs against Manheim Township during their week 7 high school football game at Warwick. Oct. 02, 2019.Sean Simmers | ssimmers@pennlive.com

81.Joey McCracken

School: Warwick

Position: QB

HT/WT: 6-2, 185

Buzz: McCracken was produced at a big-time level for the second consecutive season with nearly 3,000 passing yards and 27 touchdowns. He’s a nice athlete for the position, and, while he’s a pass-first guy, he can make teams pay with his legs. He may be at his best, in fact, on the move, because he does an excellent job of using his feet to keep plays alive while keeping his eyes downfield looking for open receivers.

Buzz: Willis slipped down the list a bit after losing last season after being ruled ineligible for a transfer. He is slated to return in 2020, and will be an interesting player to watch. He’s got good quicks and ability and has already claimed an offer from William and Mary. He has the talent to rise back up the list.

Buzz: Another one of the 2021 crop who is athletic enough to play receiver, but is probably best suited added a few pounds and lining up at linebacker in college. Miller does that in high school, too, and does it well with more than 100 tackles and five sacks last season. He can run, which is why he’s also a capable receiver, and he’s physical with a nose for the ball.

Buzz: He can throw it around a little with accuracy. He does a good job of moving around the pocket and keeping his eyes downfield to find receivers, too. Arledge passed for more than 2,400 yards and 30 touchdowns a season ago.

Buzz: He’s the Hawks’ version of the “Honey Badger.” Talley isn’t big, but he can run and he covers a lot of ground. He’s also not afraid to come downhill and lay the lumber on a ball carrier or receiver.

Buzz: He can also play defensive end, but we like him as a big tight end target. Cummings has long arms and legs, appears to have been adding the right type of mass to that frame, and can do a lot of things to help a team there.

Buzz: Pope will be fun to watch during the coming season. He came onto the scene this year, and has the size and arm to rise up the rankings. He can throw it around, and while he’s not a runner, but he can run it, too.

Buzz: He’s a good enough athlete to play receiver, but he’s also, already, a pretty good linebacker. He’s got long arms, and his frame will allow him to add some muscle giving him high upside.

59.Shawn Williams

PA DT Rank: 5

58.Naman Alemada

School: South Fayette

Position: QB

HT/WT: 6-5, 200

Buzz: Alemada stepped in at quarterback for South Fayette as a junior and passed for more than 3,000 yards and 35 touchdowns. He’s got a big body which should be able to add some more size. He’s not a runner, but he’s not a statue, either, and he can make the throws he needs to. There’s some upside here with the frame and tools and short time starting at the varsity level.

Twitter: @__Jukee

53.Ethan Carr

School: Penn-Trafford

Position: ATH

HT/WT: 6-2, 195

Buzz: He’s a versatile athlete with some good size and explosion. Carr could slot into a lot of positions at the next level – receiver, safety, possibly even linebacker. Safety may be his best spot in the end, though. Reminds a little of former Cocalico standout turned New Hampshire signee Noah Palm. He claims an offer from William and Mary.

50.Harrison Hayes

School: Pine Richland

Position: G

HT/WT: 6-4, 265

Buzz: He’s a fluid atlhlete who moves well and has some strength. Hayes plays tackle in high school, but unless he adds an inch or two and some mass, he may end up at guard in college. And he could be a good one. His list of offers includes Bowling Green and Liberty.

49.Taelen Brooks

School: Woodland Hills

Position: ATH

HT/WT: 6-1, 180

Buzz: Brooks is a talented athlete who can play a lot of different positions. He lined up at tailback a lot for Woodland Hills and he can run it. He has good speed, but he also has the type of frame that could translate to safety, linebacker or even receiver. He claims an offer from Central Michigan.

HT/WT: 6-3, 290

Buzz: Robbins might be the highest riser in our rankings from the last time we dropped The guy was in the top 50 then, but he’s in the top dozen now because he’s getting good. Really good. Robbins is a big body, but he can move, and he’s got some strength. Colleges are taking notice, and he had a big December in terms of offers. His list now includes Texas A&M, Rutgers, Duke, Indiana, South Carolina, Pitt, UMass and Boston College.

11.Nate Bruce

School: Harrisburg

Position: G

HT/WT: 6-4, 325

Buzz: The Penn State commit is a big, strong, mauler in the trenches with a real mean streak, and he’s really just starting to find himself on the football field.

10.Elijah Jeudy

School: Northeast

Position: DE

HT/WT: 6-3, 225

Buzz: Jeudy has been under the tutelage of former Penn State and NFL defensive lineman Deion Barnes, who is his defensive line coach. He’s similar to Johnson in size, and he also has a crazy, quick first step and a get-off that allows him to get into the backfield before opposing lineman know the ball is even snapped. Barnes said he believes Jeudy will be “a monster” when he’s done with him, and it’s already shining through on film. His list of offers includes Alabama, LSU, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Florida and Baylor.

9.Nahki Johnson

School: West Mifflin

Position: DE

HT/WT: 6-3, 220

Buzz: The Pitt commit’s first step is lightning, quick and he gets into the backfield and disrupts in a hurry. Johnson is just an exceptional athlete.

8. Tysheem Johnson

School: Neumann Goretti

Position: ATH

HT/WT: 5-10, 190

Buzz: Johnson has a nice confidence about him, and it’s justified. He’s not the biggest guy in this class, but he is an absolute burner who can change direction and run away from guys at running back. And he was special there, this year, for Goretti, but his next-level home may be in the secondary where he can cover ground and make big plays.

7. Dorien Ford

School: Baldwin

Position: DT

HT/WT: 6-5, 285

Buzz: Ford is big, powerful, quick and he’s just getting better and better. His size allows him to take up space, but his speed and get-off allow him to be a constant disruptor, too. He has the potential to be the best player to come out of this class. His list of offers includes Penn State, Pitt, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Maryland and Kentucky.

6.Derrick Davis Jr.

School: Gateway

Position: ATH

HT/WT: 6-1, 185

Buzz: Davis is a special athlete who could be a standout safety, running back or, perhaps, even grow into a linebacker at the next level. He’s a talented runner, but his spot, most likely, will be on the defensive side at the next level where his speed and athletic ability allow him to be a difference maker. Davis Jr.’s list of offers includes Penn State, Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Pitt, Baylor, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

5.Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

School: St. Joseph’s Prep

Position: LB

HT/WT: 6-2, 210

Buzz: The son of former Philadelphia Eagles star linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Trotter Jr. is a Clemson commit and it doesn’t take a long look at his film to see why. He’s a heat-seeking missile who gets to the ball and has a knack of separating offensive players from it. He’s an exciting talent who is really just starting to come into his own.

4.Elliot Donald

School: Central Catholic

Position: DT

HT/WT: 6-3, 230

Buzz: The nephew of NFL star Aaron Donald, Elliot works out with his famous uncle during the summers in Pittsburgh. And his game has some similarities. Like Aaron, Elliot isn’t the biggest guy on the interior, but he’s quick, has good technique and a good motor. He uses his hands well and is a constant disruptor. His list of offers includes Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, LSU, Michigan, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Pitt and Maryland.

3.Marvin Harrison Jr.

School: St. Joseph’s Prep

Position: WR

HT/WT: 6-3, 190

Buzz: Another Pennsylvania product with football in his blood, the Ohio State commit is the son of Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison. He’s got long arms that allow him to snare passes — like the one in the opening clip of his HUDL film — that appear out of reach. He runs well, and has developed a knack for making the big-time catch when it matters most. Perhaps most impressive, he seems to be ever improving.

2.Nolan Rucci

School: Warwick

Position: T

HT/WT: 6-8, 277

Buzz: There’s a lot to like about Rucci. For starters, he has football in his blood. His father, Todd Rucci, is a former New England Patriot and Penn State lineman. His brother, Hayden, is a tight end at Wisconsin. He’s also a smart kid, and he’s got all the tools to go with that. Rucci is tall and long, and those long levers are excellent at keeping opposing edge rushers at bay. He’s a good athlete for his size, and with his height, he still has some room to grow and fill out his frame which is, kind of, a scary thought. His list of offers includes Penn State, Alabama, Clemson, Wisconsin, Florida, LSU, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pitt, Stanford, Texas, Texas A&M, Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

1.Kyle McCord

School: St. Joseph’s Prep

Position: QB

HT/WT: 6-3, 205

Buzz: The Ohio State commit has been the best quarterback in Pennsylvania — regardless of classification — for two years. He’s got good enough athleticism, but his true talent is his ability to spin it. McCord can make all the throws, and he makes them with accuracy. The Hawks play a national-type schedule, taking on some of the best schools in the country, so he’s well-tested, too. He’s a two-time PennLive All PA pick — given to the best of the best all-state players each season — and has put up some impressive numbers.
